Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age to 67
Do you support an increase in the retirement age (e.g., to 67)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I support the indirect counter-proposal of the Federal Council.
Ich unterstütze den indirekten Gegenvorschlag des Bundesrates.
Pensions for married couples
For married couples, the pension is currently limited to 150% of the maximum individual AHV pension (capping). Should this limit be eliminated?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The rights and obligations related to the civil status should be revised as a whole and not in individual points, so that all living models are placed on an equal footing.
Die Rechte und Pflichten, die mit dem Zivilstand zusammenhängen, sollten als Ganzes und nicht in enzelnen Punkten, revidiert werden, damit alle Lebensmodelle gleich gestellt werden.
Reduce LPP pensions
As part of the reform of the BVG (occupational pension plan), pensions are to be reduced (lowering the minimum conversion rate from 6.8% to 6%). Are you in favor of this measure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For years, pension money in the second pillar has been redistributed in a non-transparent manner because of the high conversion rate. This must be stopped so that the young do not pay the price.
Seit Jahren werden Rentengelder in der zweiten Säule wegen des hohen Umwandlungssatzes intransparent umverteilt. Das muss gestoppt werden, damit die Jungen nicht den Preis bezahlen.
Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Expanding parental leave for couples where both are working promotes gender equality in both family and professional life.
Der Ausbau der Elternzeit für Paare, bei denen beide berufstätig sind, fördert die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter im Familien- wie im Berufsleben.
Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Affordable housing is a question of supply and demand. More active spatial planning, high-quality densification and faster planning and approval procedures are more likely to achieve the goal than government regulations and specifications. Sustainable construction should be a "must" today.
Bezahlbarer Wohnraum ist eine Frage von Angebot und Nachfrage. Eine aktivere Raumplanung, eine hochwertige Verdichtung sowie schnellere Planungs- und Bewilligungsverfahren führen eher zum Ziel als staatliche Regulierungen und Vorgaben. Nachhaltige Bauweise sollte heute ein "Must" sein.
Health
Introduce compulsory vaccination for children
Should compulsory vaccination of children be introduced based on the Swiss vaccination plan?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Parents should be free to decide whether to vaccinate their children or not. Vaccination should happen out of conviction and be forced.
Eltern sollen frei entscheiden können, ob sie ihre Kinder impfen lasen oder nicht. Impfen soll aus Überzeugung passieren und erzwungen werden.
Introduce a tax on sugary foods
Are you in favor of the introduction of a tax on foods containing sugar (sugar tax)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Health care costs are getting out of hand. Many of the chronic diseases are due, among other things, to excessive sugar consumption. A sugar tax is apparently already having an effect in other countries. Reigulation is not in line with liberal thinking, but if education alone is not enough, then...
Die Gesundheitskosten laufen aus dem Ruder. Viele der chronischen Krankheiten sind u.a. auf übermässigen Zuckerkonsum zurückzuführen. Eine Zuckersteuer zeigt in anderen Ländern offenbar bereits Wirkung. Reigulierungen entsprechen zwar nicht dem liberalen Gedankengut, aber wenn Aufklärung allein nicht nützt, dann halt...
Contribution to healthcare costs
Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
An increase in the minimum deductible is only possible if the premium reductions are more effective at the same time. Otherwise, low and middle incomes will be disproportionately burdened.
Ein Erhöhung der Minestfranchise geht nur, wenn gleichzeitig die Prämienverbillungen besser greifen. Sonst werden niedrige, aber auch mittlere Einkommen unverhältnismässig belastet.
Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic
Should the Federal Council's ability to restrict private and economic life in the event of a pandemic be more limited?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The federal government and the cantons must be able to intervene quickly when a health situation arises whose development cannot be foreseen.
Bund und Kantone müssen rasch eingreifen können, wenn sich eine Gesundheitssituation anbahnt, deren Entwicklung nicht absehbar ist.
Federal competence for national hospital planning
Should the federal government be given the authority to determine the hospital offering (national hospital planning with regard to locations and range of services)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Health care costs are at the top of the population's concern barometer. Our small-scale, cantonal hospital planning causes enormous costs. National, supra-regional planning leads to increased competence/specialization, better, nationwide basic care, more efficiency and ultimately lower costs for everyone.
Gesundheitskosten stehen ganz oben beim Sorgenbarometer der Bevölkerung. Unsere kleinräumige, kantonle Spitalplanung verursacht enorme Kosten. Ein nationale, überregionale Planung führt zu erhöhter Kompetenz/Spezialisierung, einer besseren, flächendeckenden Grundversorgung, mehr Effiizienz und letztlich zu niedrigeren Kosten für alle.
Education
Inclusive schooling
According to the Swiss integrated schooling concept, children with learning difficulties or disabilities should be taught in regular classes. Do you approve of this concept?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The individual needs of children with learning difficulties are the focus. The children should be supported in the way that is most effective for them. This can be in inclusive education or in specialized institutions. However, integrative teaching requires increased competence at all levels.
Die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Kinder mit Lernschwierigkeiten stehen im Zentrum. Die Kinder sollen so gefördert werden, wie es für sie am zielführendesten ist. Das kann im integrativen Unterricht sein oder in spezialsierten Einrichtungen. Für den integrativen Unterricht braucht es jedoch erhöhte Kompetenz auf allen Ebenen.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Increased requirements are not necessary, a standardization of the cantonal levels would of course be useful.
Erhöhte Anforderungen sind nicht notwendig, eine Vereinheitlilchung der kantonalen Levels wäre natürlich sinnvoll.
Equal opportunities in education
Should the state be more committed to equal educational opportunities (e.g., through subsidized remedial courses for students from low-income families)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Everyone in our country should be able to realize their potential. That is why it is important to pay special attention to children from socially weak, educationally disadvantaged families and also to promote their talents and potential.
Jeder Mensch in unserem Land soll sein Potzential ausschöpfen können. Deshalb ist es wichtig, ein spezielles Augenmerk auf Kinder aus solzial schwachen, bildungsfernen Familien zu richten und auch ihre Talente und Potenziale zu fördern.
Immigration & integration
Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
People who have immigrated and want to take on political responsibility in Switzerland should be able to do so. And they should be able to do so within a reasonable period of time. Therefore, the conditions should be adapted accordingly.
Menschen, die zugewandert sind und in der Schweiz politische Verantwortung übernehmen und mitgestalten wollen, sollen dies tun können. Und das in nützlicher Frist. Deshalb sollten die Bedingungen entsprechend angepasst werden.
Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers
Should more qualified workers from non-EU/EFTA countries be allowed to work in Switzerland (increase third-country quota)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If the economy needs workers who cannot be found domestically or under the free movement agreements, the quotas should be adjusted accordingly.
Wenn die Wirtschaft Arbeitskräfte benötigt, die nicht im Inland oder im Rahmen der Freizügigkeitsabkommen gefunden werden können, sollten die Kontingente entsprechend angepasst werden.
Asylum procedures outside Europe
Do you support efforts to house asylum seekers in centers outside Europe during the asylum procedure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Voting rights for foreigners
Should foreign nationals who have lived in Switzerland for at least ten years be granted the right to vote and stand for election at the municipal level?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Foreigners who have lived in Switzerland for at least 10 years can apply for naturalization. Then they have all the possibilities of democratic participation. However, it could also be left to the municipalities and cantons to decide how they want to handle regional participation.
Ausländer:innen , die mindestens 10 Jahre in der Schweiz leben, können sich einbürgern lassen. Dann haben sie alle Möglichkeiten der demokratischen Mitwirkung. Man könnte es aber für regionale Mitwirkung auch den Gemeinden und Kantonen überlassen wie das handhaben möchten.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The illegal trade with its numerous negative effects should be stopped. This can only be achieved if soft drugs are legalized.
Der illegale Handel mit seinen zahlreichen negativen Auswirkungen, soll unterbunden werden. Das geht nur, wenn weiche Drogen legalisiert werden.
Authorize active euthanasia
Would you be in favour of doctors being allowed to administer direct active euthanasia in Switzerland?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The individual freedom of the individual is very important. This also includes the freedom to choose the time of death in case of illness. Assistance should in any case be free of punishment.
Die individuelle Freiheit des Indviduums hat einen hohen Stellenwert. Das gehört auch die Freiheit für die Wahl Sterbezeitpunkts im Krankheitsfall. Die Assistenz sollte auf jeden Fall straffrei sein.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples
Do you think it's right for same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Sexual orientation is a private matter. The state has no business there. In a liberal, open society, equality of all family and life models must be a matter of course.
Sexuelle Orientierung ist Privatsache. Da hat der Staat nichts zu suchen. In einer liberalen, offenen Gesellschaft muss die Gleichstellung aller Familien- und Lebensmodelle selbstverständlich sein.
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Tax cuts are not appropriate given the current fiscal situation and the many challenges we face.
Steuersenkungen sind bei der aktuellen Finanzlage und der vielfältigen Herausforderungen, auf die wir zusteuern, nicht angebracht.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A change to individual taxation would alleviate the disproportionate burden on second earnings and promote additional potential on the labor market. This is long overdue in the interest of equality.
Ein Wechsel zur Individualbesteuerung, würde die überproportionale Belastung auf Zweitverdiensten mildern und zusätzliches Potential auf dem Arbeitsmarkt fördern. Im Sinner der Gleichstellung längst fällig.
Introduce a national inheritance tax
Would you support the introduction of a national inheritance tax on all inheritances over one million Swiss francs? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Thinking about this again is certainly worthwhile. It depends very much on how it is designed. In any case, it should not put SMEs etc. in a difficult position. The argument "already taxed" does not apply in every case (stock gains, added value real estate, etc.).
Darüber wieder einmal nachzudenken, lohnt sich sicher. Es kommt sehr auf die Ausgestaltung an. Sie dürfte auf keinen Fall KMU's etc in Bedrängnis bringen. Das Argument "ist schon versteuert" greift ja nicht in jedem Fall (Aktiengewinne, Mehrwert Immobilien etc).
Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons
Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The IFA is okay. The impact of the OECD minimum tax remains to be seen.
Der IFA ist okay. Die Auswirkungen der OECD Mindeststeuer müssen erst noch abgewartet werden.
Economy & labour
Introduce a national minimum wage of CHF 4,000
Are you in favor of introducing a minimum wage of CHF 4,000 for all full-time employees?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Nationwide minimum wages are not conducive to economic growth in Switzerland. Minimum wages are a matter for the trade unions or should be regulated in collective labor agreements on an industry-specific basis.
Flächendeckende Mindestlöhne sind für die Wirtschaft in der Schweiz nicht förderlich. Mindestlöhne sind Sache der Gewerkschaften bzw. sollen in Gesamtarbeitsverträgen branchenspezifisch geregelt werden.
Regulate the financial sector more strictly
Do you support stricter regulations for the financial sector (e.g., stricter capital requirements for banks, ban on bonuses)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If sustainable business conduct in the economy does not happen voluntarily and consistently as demanded, then unfortunately it cannot happen without regulation.
Wenn nachhaltiges Geschäftsgebaren in der Wirtschaft nicht freiwillig und konsequent passiert wie gefordert, dann geht es leider nicht ohne Regulierungen.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Private customers are "virtually" at the mercy of the electricity companies. In a liberalized electricity market, customers bear their own risk.
Private sind den Stromkonzernen quasi"ausgeliefert. In einem liberalisierten Stromarkt tragen Kunden ihr Risiko selbst.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We need more living space, primarily in central metropolitan areas. It is imperative that building regulations be relaxed there. Housing should be built within a reasonable period of time where it is needed.
Wir brauchen mehr Wohnraum in erster Linie in zentralen Ballungsräumen. Da müssen Bauvorschriften unbedingt gelockert werden. Wohnraum soll in nützlicher Frist da erstellt werden, wo er benötigt wird
Wage equality between women and men
Are you in favor of stricter controls on equal pay for women and men?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Should simply no longer be an issue in 2023.
Sollte im Jahr 2023 schlicht kein Thema mehr sein.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Individual transport should be avoided, not encouraged. It has been proven that individual transport causes the most greenhouse gases, pollutants and noise. Concepts are needed that promote the switch to other, more sustainable means of transport instead of more roads.
Individualverkehr soll vermieden, nicht gefördert werden. Der Individualverkehr verursacht nachweislich am meisten Treibhausgase, Schadestoffe und Lärm. Es brauch Konzepte, die den Umstieg auf andere, nachhaltigere Verkehrsmittel fördern statt mehr Strassen
Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035
Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The majority of car manufacturers have already decided to produce only cars without conventional combustion engines. The market will probably sort things out. If a ban is still needed, I can live with that. The EU has already decided on a ban from 2035.
Die Autohersteller haben bereits mehrheitlich entschieden, nur noch Autos ohne herkömmliche Verbrennermotoren herzustellen. Der Markt wird da wohl einiges richten. Wenn es dann trotzdem noch ein Verbot braucht, kann ich damit leben. Die EU hat das Verbot ab 2035 ja schon beschlossen.
Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In my opinion, incentives always make more sense than bans. With some issues, the only way is top-down. We have a responsibility to future generations and simply need more efficient measures than before.
Anreize sind meines Erachtens immer sinnvoller als Verbote. Bei manchen Themen geht es dann halt doch nur Top-Down. Wir stehen in der Verantwortung für die uns nachfolgenden Generationen und brauchen schlicht effizientere Massnahmen als bisher.
Make the rules for renewable energy less strict
Do you think it's fair that environmental and landscape protection rules are being relaxed to allow for the development of renewable energy?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It can only be done with good compormissen. Nature conservation and biodiversity cannot be valued highly enough, but it is precisely in order to protect them that we need the expansion of renewable energies. We need to find reasonable and unideological solutions.
Es geht nur mit guten Kompormissen. Naturschutz und Biodiversität sind nicht hoch genug einzuschätzen, aber gerade um sie zu schützen, brauchen wir den Ausbau der erneuerbare Energien. Da gilt es sich vernünftige und unideologische Lösungen zu finden.
Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants
Should the construction of new nuclear power plants in Switzerland be allowed again?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The people have rejected the further operation/expansion of nuclear power plants. An expansion with today's possibilities would take too long and be too expensive and - if experts are to be believed - is not economical. In addition, we still do not have a final repository. Nevertheless, we must always remain open to new technologies.
Das Volk hat den weiteren Betrieb/Ausbau von Atomkraftwerken abgelehnt. Ein Ausbau mit den heutigen Möglichkeiten würde zu lange dauern und zu teuer und ist - darf man Experten glauben - nicht wirtschaftlich. Zudem haben wir nach wie vor kein Endlager. Trotzdem gilt es, immer technologieoffen zu bleiben.
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Digitization allows more scope in this area. Functioning Internet to the farthest corners is a prerequisite for this. Intelligent solutions are needed to provide nationwide coverage in rural areas. How is irrelevant in this area.
Die Digitalisierung ermöglicht mehr Spielraum in diesem Bereich. Funktionierendes Internet bis in den hinteresten Winkel ist dafür Voraussetzung. Es sind intelligente Lösungen gefragt, um den ländlchen Raum flächendeckend zu versorgen. Das Wie ist in diesem Bereich unerheblich.
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Producing energy-friendly electricity is one thing, but consumption is another. Savings potential should be exploited at all costs. I can't say whether a progressive electricity tariff would provide a boost. It would certainly depend on how it was designed.
Energiefreundlichen Strom produzieren ist das eine, der Verbrauch das andere. Sparpotenziale sollen unbedingt genutzt werden. Ob bei ein progressiver Stromtarif da einen Schub bringen würde, kann ich nicht beurteilen. Es käme sicher auf die Ausgestaltung an.

Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible
Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?

Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The direct funds from the state should be used for farms that demonstrably produce in an environmentally friendly manner, in a manner that respects animals and biodiversity, or that provide services for the general public. It is simply no longer appropriate to support environmentally damaging production operations with tax money. However, the farms must be given the necessary time to change their processes in a sustainable manner.
Die direkten Mittel vom Staat sollen für Landwirtschaftsbetriebe eingesetzt werden, die nachweislich umweltgerecht, tiergerecht und mit Rücksicht auf die Biodiversität produzieren oder Dienstleistungen für die Allgemeinheit erbringen. Es ist einfach nicht mehr zeitgemäss, umweltschädigende Produktionsbetriebe mit Steuergeldern zu untersützen. Man muss den Betrieben allerdings die nötige Zeit einräumen, um ihre Prozesse nachhaltig umzustellen.
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals
Are you in favour of stricter animal welfare regulations for livestock (e.g. permanent access to outdoor areas)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Species-appropriate husbandry in terms of animal welfare should be a matter of course. Better standards are needed.
Artgerechte Haltung im Sinne des Tierwohls sollte selbstverständlich sein. Es braucht bessere Standards.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The loss of biodiversity in Switzerland is dramatic. Therefore, effective, political measures are needed to stop the loss and restore ecosystems as best as possible.
Der Verlust an biologischer Vielfalt ist in der Schweiz dramatisch. Deshalb braucht es wirksame, politische Massnahmen, die den Verlust stoppen und Ökosysteme so gut wie möglich wieder herstellen.
Ban on single-use plastics
Would you support a ban on single-use plastic and non-recyclable plastics? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Unfortunately, when conventional, voluntary measures do not produce the desired result, corrective measures "from above" are usually the only ones that help.
Wenn herkömmliche, freiwillige Massnahmen nicht das gewünschte Resultat bringen, helfen leider in der Regel nur Korrekturmassnahmen "von oben".
More sustainable use of electronic devices
Are you in favour of government measures to make the use of electronic devices more sustainable (e.g., right to repair, extension of warranty period, minimum guaranteed period for software updates)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The circular economy in Switzerland should be promoted and strengthened. I welcome anything that helps to promote a more sensible use of our resources. This requires close cooperation between politics, business and science.
Die Kreislaufwirtschaft in der Schweiz soll gefördert und verstärkt werden. Alles was hilft, einen vernüftigeren Umgang mit unseren Ressourcen zu fördern, begrüsse ich. Dafür braucht es die enge Zusammenarbeit von Politik, Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft.
Democracy, Media & Digitization
Mobile phone network (5G)
Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Each new generation in the mobile phone standard has brought new advantages. The advantages of the latest generation bring more efficiency and lower energy consumption. This conserves resources.
Jede neue Generation im Mobilfunkstandard hat neue Vorteile gebracht. Die Vorteile der neuesten Generation bringt mehr Effizienz und niedrigeren Energieverbraucht. Das schont Ressourcen.
Digitizing public services
Should the federal government be given additional powers in the area of digitization of government services in order to be able to impose binding directives and standards on the cantons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Improving digitization at all levels brings many benefits: simplified, more efficient, more accurate processes, improved collaboration at all levels. A Switzerland-wide IT strategy is needed.
Die Verbesserung der Digitalisierung auf allen Ebenen bringt viele Vorteile: vereinfachte, effizientere, genauere Prozesse, eine verbesserte Zusammenarbeit auf allen Ebenen. Es braucht eine schweizweite IT-Strategie.
Strengthening regulation of big internet platforms
Are you in favor of stronger regulation of the major Internet platforms (i.e., transparency rules on algorithms, increased liability for content, combating disinformation)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Intervention only when the market fails (cartels, price agreements, etc.)
Eingreifen nur dann, wenn der Markt versagt (Kartelle, Preisabsprachen etc.)
Lowering TV and radio license fees
A popular initiative aims to reduce television and radio fees (CHF 200 per household, exemption for businesses). Do you support this initiative?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A diversity of independent media and high-quality journalism are part of the essence of a functioning democracy..Especially in a multilingual country with direct democracy, regional media are also important and must be supported.
Eine Vielfalt an unabhängigen Medien und qualitativ hochwertiger Journalismus gehören zum Wesen einer funktionierenden Demokratie..Gerade in einem mehrsprachigen Land mit direkter Demokratie sind auch regionale Medien wichtig und müssen gefördert werden.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The population in the third stage of life is growing rapidly. For this reason, the young population in particular should be introduced earlier to political responsibility and decision-making processes that affect their future.
Die Bevölkerung im dritten Lebensabschnitt wächst rasant. Deshalb sollten gerade die junge Bevölkerung früher an politische Verantwortung und Entscheidungsprozesse, die ihre Zukunft betreffen herangeführt werden.
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The state should not spend more than it takes in, and the public spending ratio should remain low. In this context, the GLP has long been calling for an optional financial referendum.
Der Staaat soll nicht mehr ausgeben als er einnimmt, die Staatsquote soll tief bleiben. In diesem Zusammenhang fordert die GLP schon seit längerem das fakultative Finanzreferendum.
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Our national defense should be able to cope with modern threats. This cannot be achieved with more soldiers, but with appropriately adapted methods/training (e.g. against terror, cyber attacks, infrastructure protection) and a lean, efficient militia army.
Unsere Landesverteidung sollte modernen Bedrohungen gerecht werden. Das schafft man nicht mit mehr Soldat:innen, sodern mit entsprechend angepassten Methoden/Ausbildungen (z.B. gegen Terror, Cyberangriffe, Infrastruktuerschutz) und. einer schlanken, effizienten Milizarmee.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland is located in the middle of Europe. Increased cooperation with NATO makes sense so that a comprehensive defense of our country can be guaranteed in the event of an attack.
Die Schweiz liegt mitten in Europa. Eine verstärkte Zusammenarbeit mit der NATO macht Sinn, damit im Angriffsfall eine umfassende Verteidigung unseres Landes gewährleistet werden kann.
Re-export of Swiss weapons
Should the Federal Council be allowed to authorize other states to re-export Swiss weapons in cases of a war of aggression in violation of international law (e.g., the attack on Ukraine)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Only if a country is demonstrably attacked in violation of international law should the ban on re-exporting customers of the local arms industry to the attacked country be lifted.
Nur wenn ein Land nachweislich völkerrechtswidrig angegriffen wird, soll das Wiederausfuhrsverbot von Kunden der hiesigen Waffenindustrie an das angegriffene Land aufgehoben werden.

Monitoring people in public spaces for no reason is not part of the democratic principles we live by in our country.
Menschen grundlos im öffentlichen Raum zu überwachen, gehört nicht zu den demokratischen Grundsätzen, wie wir sie in unserem Land leben.
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The refugee problem can only be solved on a European level. We are part of Europe and should contribute to the solution within the framework of our possibilities/existing treaties and maintain good partnership.
Die Flüchtlingsproblematik kann nur europäisch gelöst werden. Wir sind Teil von Europa und sollten im Rahmen unserer Möglichkeiten/bestehender Verträge zur Lösung beitragen und gute Partnerschaft pflegen.
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We are part of Europe. Europe is our most important trading partner with almost 60% of foreign trade volume. Participation in the European internal market is a recipe for success, which is why we need regulated relations with our neighbor, the EU. In my opinion, a new attempt to join the EEA could be considered after 30 years.
Wir sind Teil Europas. Europa ist mit fast 60% Aussenhandelsvolumen unser wichtigster Handelspartner. Die Teilnahme am europäischen Binnemarkt ist ein Erfolgskonzept, deshalb braucht es geregelte Beziehungen zu unserem Nachbarn EU. Meines Erachtens könnte man 30 Jahren einen neuen Anlauf für einen EWR-Beitritt in Betracht ziehen.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland should be able to trade, import and export globally and open to the world, provided that the trading system is fair and for the benefit of all partners.
Die Schweiz soll weltoffen und weltweit handeln und im- und exportieren können, sofern das Handelssystem fair ist und zum Wohle aller Partner.
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Swiss companies should comply with social and environmental standards worldwide and also be pioneers in this area.
Schweizer Firmen sollen sozial- und Umwelt-Standards weltweit einhalten und in diesem Bereich auch Vorreiter sein.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland is strongly linked to Europe in every respect. There is no way around bilateral agreements if we want to continue to participate in the single European market. Regulated relations are central to our economy and our research.
Die Schweiz ist in jeder Beziehung stark mit Europa verbandelt. Es führt kein Weg an bilaterlalen Verträgen vorbei, wenn wir uns weiterhin am Binnenmarkt Europa beteiligen wollen. Geregelte Beziehungen sind zentral für unsere Wirtschaft und unsere Forschung.
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland should remain neutral. Neutrality should be more clearly defined so that discussions about it are unnecessary in the future.
Die Schweiz soll weiterhin neutral bleiben. Die Neutralität sollte klarer definiert sein, damit sich künftig die Diskussionen darum erübrigen.

Children want to be with other children. This promotes their development in many areas. The traditional extended family has become rare. KITAs are a good alternative.

Progress always involves risks (e.g., driving a car). But as long as the benefits outweigh the risks, one should not resist the unstoppable, but minimize the risks (see seat belts and airbags).
Fortschritt birgt immer auch Risiken (z.B. Autofahren). Aber solange die Vorteile überwiegen, sollte man sich dem Unaufhaltbaren nicht entziehen, sondern die Risiken minimieren (siehe Sicherheitsgurt und Airbags).

Environmental protection and the economy must go hand in hand with sound concepts, because this is the only way it will work in the long term. The unilateral weakening of one side or the other is detrimental to everyone.
Umweltschutz und Wirtschaft müssen mit griffigen Konzepten Hand in Hand gehen, weil es langfristig nur so funktioniert. Die einseitige Schwächung der einen oder der anderen Seite wirkt sich nachteilig für alle aus.

The state should provide support where it is needed, but at the same time also create incentives so that - where possible - people can once again become independent of state support. The economy can also play its part.
Der Staat soll dort unterstützen, wo es nötig ist, aber gleichzeitig auch Anreize schaffen, dass - dort wo möglich - Menschen auch wieder unabhängig von staatlicher Unterstützung werden können. Die Wirtschaft kann da ebenfalls ihren Teil beitragen.

Without education, few opportunities. Without a functioning education system, no functioning economy. Education is the basis for almost everything. That's why it's important to invest in schools, universities, institutes of further education, etc. and to keep standards high.
Ohne Bildung wenig Chancen. Ohne funktionierendes Bildungssystem, keine funktionierende Wirtschaft. Bildung ist die Grundlage für fast alles. Deshalb ist es wichtig in Schulen, Hochschulen, Weiterbildungsinstitute etc. zu investieren und das Niveau hoch zu halten.

As long as too many funds flow into agriculture that is harmful to humans and animals, there will be no industry-wide change of direction. Environmentally friendly agriculture, care of the landscape and preservation of biodiversity should be promoted.
Solange zuviele Mittel auch in für Mnesch und Tier schädliche Landwirtschaft fliessen, kommt es nicht zu einem branchenweiten Umschwenken. Gefördert werden soll umweltfreundliches landwirtschaften, Pflege der Landschaft und Erhalt der Artenvielfalt.

The changed demographic conditions require adjustments so that the AHV, our most important social system, does not falter. An increase or flexibilization of the retirement age is an apropos means that can contribute to the solution. Industry-specific circumstances should also be taken into account.
Die veränderten demografischen Verhältnisse erfordern Anpassungen, damit die AHV, unser wichtigstes Sozialsystem, nicht ins Wanken gerät. Eine Erhöhung bzw Flexiblisierung des Rentalters ist ein aprobates Mittel, das zur Lösung beitragen kann. Dabei sollten auch branchenspezifische Gegebenheiten berücksichtig werden.
